 I thought that the vocals were weak and didn't even come *close* to
Daltrey's.I thought it was very cool that Phish chose to do Quad rather than
something more obvious (like Pink Floyd's "The Wall"),and musically it was
ok,but they just don't have the vocal power to do the album justice.Nice
novelty though.
